Nice mission; tech debt; slowly losing unique culture
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
July 4, 2022
Pros: Nice mission. The mission hasn't changed throughout the years, and it's still one of the coolest mission statements for new companies out there. Company comp and benefits have kept improving on the last few years.
Cons: Culture is slowly diluting as the company focuses on over-indexing on hiring folks from FAANG that clearly don't care about the mission but rather the promise of an up-and-coming IPO.

Pros: - Great mission
- Motivated and talented engineers
- Fun and supportive culture
Cons: Start-up hustle culture is still felt across the company, so it's up to you to set boundaries to prevent burnout.

Great mission and wonderful people, squandered by senior leadership
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
May 1, 2020
Pros: Patreon has a great mission, and many people there are incredibly dedicated to it. It could be a genuinely inspiring place to work at times. The codebase was even clean and pleasant to work in! I learned a ton, and for most of my tenure, I felt supported and appreciated.
Cons: Sometime in 2018, leadership started making really odd decisions, and they haven't stopped. There have been sudden firings, constant thrash on strategy and reporting structure, and vague explanations as to why any of it was happening.
It is not a safe or comfortable place to work anymore. Good talent is leaving in droves, and the organization is steadily losing diversity. It's incredibly depressing to watch.
